Great once I replaced the hose and chuck

Like may others, I found it odd that sears sells a great inflator with a piece of junk chuck. I took a shot and ordered a Universal Head Bicycle Replacement Floor Pump Hose for less than ten bucks made for a bike pump and it attached fairly easily. I now have quality universal (presta/schraeder) chuck and a hose that's twice a s long. I use this regularly both for my bikes and cars.

Bad Air Chuck

This is a great little tool. Bought it to inflate my wheelchair tires. Worked fine for the first ten or so uses. Then the crappy, poorly designed and constructed, hose end air chuck failed. It would no longer stay attached to the tire valve stem. Sears wants $25 to replace the hose and chuck assembly with what appears to be the same crappy chuck! This is more than half of what I paid for the entire tool! It would be nice if the automatic function would work to about 60 psi or more. I would NOT recommend to a friend unless Sears fixes the chuck design, which is a common item of complaint with other users.

I was always interested in this but after needing to put air in the wifes car I made to call to try it. It worked on one battery XCP for all 4 tires. I am looking forward to trying it out with the pool\boat toys this summer. So far so good, I like and recommend it! Now time will tell on the quality but Craftsman usually stands by their product.

We have been using an entire line of C3 cordless equipment from small circular saws to a multipurpose saw, flashlights and several drills over the years. They were around for our then teenage stepsons to use the heck out of, now they're grown and left the nest and our C3s are still running strong despite the abuse of heavy use, all we've had to replace are the batteries. Now we've upgraded to the li-ion batteries for even better performance from our old C3 tools.
This tire inflator recently joined our C3 family. It's been FAR more convenient than lugging out the big air compressor, and it's totally portable, our neighbor has already borrowed it and was so impressed he said he was going to buy his own. I give it 5 stars, there are a few areas to improve upon but overall it's still a 5 star product. Kudo's Craftsman, we love our C3 tools!

The inflator works well and is convenient to use. The automatic shutoff feature is nice, I found that you should set the ****** PSI 2 points higher than the desired tire pressure. I had a similar experience with another inflator I have which plugs into the cigarette lighter.
The reason I'm giving it 4 stars is that neither the battery nor the charger are included, and combined they cost more than the inflator. So if you don't already own a Craftsman C3-compatible battery and charger plan on spending another $70 bucks or so before you can use the inflator.

I really like the 19.2 volt cordless inflator. The auto setting is very easy to adjust and use. I have used it on trailer tires, bike tires, atv tires and my truck tires. I like the portability and take it with on our trail rides.

This is a great portable air compressor with a unique design. I love that I can use it with my collection of C3 batteries.
My only complaints are that you can't lock it above 40# set point and the gauge is a bit off.

This pump is a fabulous idea, but the chuck is defective--you get about 15-20 pumps, maybe 30, which for most households takes you beyond the warranty period, then the chuck gives out and releases more air than the pump generates. I've purchased two--both have the same problem, and I see 3 of the first 5 reviews on this site say the same thing. Then, even though numerous customers have the same problem, Sears hasn't developed a way to send us a new hose/chuck for a reasonable price, and we are stuck purchasing another $60 tool. Not the old Sears I have admired for decades.

I have bought 2 craftsman inflators total cost $140. Love this thing for topping off the air pressure in my tires. After about a year the hose fails.
Last 1 I bought because it was half the price of the 1st one & I saw the hose was different. I assumed they had improved the hose durability. Still leary of getting screwed again, I bought the Purchase protect plan which I never do & rarely need. Well as others have stated the chuck no longer seals to the valve stem so it releases air instead of adding.
The purchase protect plan has expired so Sears refuses to give me a new hose. I refuse to be screwed/stupid again paying for a known problematic product.

I took a shot and ordered a Universal Head Bicycle Replacement Floor Pump Hose for less than ten bucks made for a bike pump and it attached fairly easily.

This is an awesome tool and should be in the storage area of all vehicles when you are taking a trip. I have only has this tool a few weeks and it has already saved me twice when the air pressure sensor light should low pressure. it is fast and efficient and requires very little space
